US Private Sector Hiring Gains Momentum Through September
Private employers in the United States added an average of 23,750 jobs per week for the period ending September 19, 2026. This figure marks the fifth consecutive week of accelerated hiring, according to the NER Pulse, a high-frequency tracking report produced by ADP Research in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab.
While these preliminary estimates provide a granular view of hiring trends, ADP Research notes that the figures remain subject to revision as additional payroll data is processed. The NER Pulse serves as a weekly bridge to the broader, monthly National Employment Report, which utilizes a reference week containing the 12th of each month to provide a comprehensive snapshot of private sector activity.
